Creeping Void. Top Story - November 2024.
The stars are going out. For some reason, this doesn’t strike me as a sad thing. Nor a terrible one. I am seated on a couch, far beyond the crushing grip of our gravity well. Far beyond the light of our native star. For all that, I do not know where I am. Only that I am seated on a couch, the metal of the space station’s deck cold under my feet, with my arm around someone as we watch the stars go out.

Tied
Dave's head felt like a tribal dance was taking place inside it. He let out a groan as consciousness returned to him and his limbs remembered that they could move.

I'm Not Broken
Looks of pity, ableism, these are things I hadn’t previously considered. I did my best to treat others as I wanted to be treated, and to live a life that showed Jesus lived in me. What kind of Sunday School Teacher would I have been if I had taught by example? Although I shouldn’t be speaking in the past tense, I am a Sunday School Teacher, despite the fact that even that has changed since the accident.
